NASCAR Monster Energy Streaming Live
at 2:00 P.M ET On Sunday 8 April 2018
Enjoy live streaming of The O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 roaring into Texas with the best driver with the aim of concurring the title. It's a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series stock auto race held at Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) in Fort Worth, Texas on 8th April Sunday at 2:00 PM. The actual length of the track is 501 miles which are approximately 806.3km even though the race is publicized as a "500-mile" race.
Back in 2013 when National Rifle Association started to support the race; in spite of the fact that race sponsorships are consulted with the track and NASCAR is not involved in this matter this resulted in controversy but after few meetings, the authorizing association has the last endorsement and did not protest the sponsorship. NASCAR's acknowledgment of this sponsorship and its planning has been questionable, and hostile to weapon control activists, all this matter was taken up seriously by Senator Chris Murphy who asked fox sports owner Rupert Murdoch to not communicate the race anymore.but this didn't happen as it has been a break of the system's agreement with NASCAR.however the frequency of the name mentioned in the game was reduced. The NRA would return as a race support in 2016 for the Bristol Night Race in August at Speedway's claimed Bristol Motor Speedway.
